Why are my park assist and back-up camera disabled when the tailgate light bar is plugged in, and how can I fix it?Updated 39 minutes ago

On some newer vehicles, plugging the tailgate light bar into the trailer harness may cause systems like park assist and the back-up camera to disable automatically, as the vehicle detects it is in towing mode. To avoid this, the light bar may need to be hardwired directly into the vehicle’s lighting system instead of using the trailer plug. However, in certain cases, compatibility issues may prevent the light bar from being used without affecting these features.
